To Robert, the genius behind this amazing product, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

My daughter has been a figure skater for a few years now, so she's doing pretty fun jumps and spins and generally has good balance with minimal falls, but hasn't worn a helmet in a long time because it's cumbersome. A few moms at the rink have your Figure Skating Middie for their daughters. I thought it was just a headband, but when one mom told me it was a helmet of sorts, I had to have it for my daughter, (she loves the pink dots!!)

My son falls a lot due to epileptic seizures and he loves his new hat. Although not a helmet, it offers amazing protection and best of all, he enjoys wearing it and you could never tell it is a protective hat. It looks like a regular beanie cap. It was affordable and a very worthwhile purchase in my opinion.

Our son Nicky carries a diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and after two VERY bad falls this week, was told he needs to wear a helmet.

THE "H" WORD.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........

We have been trying to avoid that.

Wonderful product. My daughter uses her Crasche Middie every time she skates. It’s doesn’t slip and slide on her head and she never complains about having to wear it. The stretchy material helps to fit it over her head and keep it snug in place and the pattern is a lot of fun. We lost a piece and were able to call customer service for help. They answered on the first ring and solved the problem immediately. I recommend these helmets to anyone with a little one who skates!

I own two Crasche beanies, and they've been an absolutely lifesaver. As an adult with epilepsy, it's given me better peace-of-mind knowing that I can get up in the middle of the night wearing my Crasche and feel protected. It's also been great for days that I'm feeling "off" and want a little extra reassurance getting through the day. I've been a fan since 2015, and I recommend them to anyone with epilepsy that wants a helmet for simple safety reasons.

The Crasche Middie figure skating headband is low-profile head protection gear that works. I'm an adult figure skater who skated for many years before I had a concussion from someone who pushed off the boards without looking and ran into me. I used my son's hockey helmet for a few months, and it was comfortably protective but too bulky for figure skating. I felt lucky not to have suffered a serious TBI, but even a "mild" concussion felt pretty awful and I probably walked around like a zombie for a while.

I purchased my Crasche hat for curling after getting my third concussion (none of them on the ice.) I wore it last week at curling and not only is it very comfortable but also cute! The other women curlers were surprised to see how sturdy the hat is while also being stylish. And the hat feels so good on my head, seriously taking away the dull headache I had, maybe from the gentle pressure from the hat? I absolutely love it and am recommending it to all other curlers!

I want to thank Crasche and Bob for all the help they provided in making sure that I received exactly what I needed for my granddaughter. She suffers from drop seizures, too many to count in a day. When I contacted Bob about whether or not their product could protect her, he was most helpful in directing me to the correct headband for her needs. He also helped in facilitating the purchase, delivery, return, and exchange of those headbands to ensure that I received exactly what I needed of her.

My son has Lennox-Gastuat Syndrome and the leading cause of fatality is from falls. We have tried every helmet ever created and the minute we put one on him and let go, it goes flying across the room. He may be intellectually challenged, but he knows what looks cool and what doesn't. And I'm sure they felt bulky and heavy as well. But, when we put his Crasche Hat on him and stood back, you could see him thinking about it for a second, then he went right back to what he was doing. He wore it the rest of the day and we had to take it off him when he fell asleep!

I could use some more of those small Crasche cards. A number of parents at the rink have bought Crasche hats and headbands because I gave them a card. I've even convinced adults to buy them. I won't step on the ice without mine.

I love your figure skating headband. I bought one a year ago because I got two concussions months prior (it wasn’t by doing anything cool, I promise lol)

An adult figure skater advised me to get one and so I did. I’m very happy with the product because it's a way better alternative than wearing a helmet while being a figure skater =)

It actually prevented me from getting a third concussion when I flew on the ice and landed on my side. My head actually bounced on the ice. Although my ribs and knees were bruised, my head was fine.

We talked a few years ago about business after I made a purchase on your site. Your hats have been amazing for my brother, who has epilepsy. They allow him to be protected without the embarrassment of always having to wear a epileptic helmet. Do you know when you'll have the Crasche " X 38 " cycling cap for sale online? Any chance of a Crasche baseball hat in the future? Hope all is well with business, thanks again for selling this product.

Unfortunately my daughter has been experiencing a higher amount of drop seizures since we spoke resulting in a few trips to emergency one in particular where she split the back of her head open. She is doing fine now we have received the two new caps which are really great the size is perfect and she has had so many comments how great they look. She really loves the caps and seems much happier. I also feel she is not so self conscious when in public and I have to tell you that although she was wearing a type of helmet before this is far more protective.

My name is Fran and my husband and son bought me the Crasche headband to protect me while I skate. I am an older skater- just started after I retired and I love it. I wear a helmet because I am not taking the risk of injuring myself in a fall. I did fall when I first skated and knocked myself out for 9 minutes. Scary stuff. I was toying with the idea of getting a halo but my husband didn’t think they were safe enough. He found your product instead.

I showed the hat that I purchased from you to my epileptologist at UMASS Memorial in Worcester MA. She has been a professor there for nearly 20 years. I go there to have my VNS implant maintained. She says that my seizures are some of the most dramatic she has seen in 20 years. She was impressed with it and took the information for your product to recommend to her patients, she is a specialist. I showed her your website and she stored it in the College Campus computer under helmets.

I already feel safer. Thank you, Crasche!

He has been wearing a hard hat while waiting for this hat to arrive. The hard hat is very clumsy and not very comfortable. This hat seems perfect. We will be ordering a winter one. Hopefully, you will be selling them in Canada soon. Thank you for a comfortable solution to our problem!

Your hats are FANTASTIC for the special needs community. The caps have some weight and offer protection. A person who might not have worn a helmet before, will wear the cap because they "are cool" and stylish. Your product can be a true life saver and G-d send to children with autism...and of course, their parents, around the world. I will make sure I get the word out in my area so that people know this is available.

"Having had a few concussions I just always wear some type of protection"

Submitted by Anonymous | Published on December 9, 2013, 11:31 am

Just ordered another one for this year. Just very comfortable teaching skiing in it. When you spend a great deal of time walking around with students before they are ready for the chairlift and yet enough protection in case you get knocked over, etc. Also, I actually wore it the second half (when it got cold) of my touch football season. Was really perfect for that. Last year I also used it as protection on winter hikes below the treeline. Having had a few concussions I just always wear some type of protection but do not always need the level provided by a helmet.

This child had concussions so often due to a combination of not looking where he is going, constant motion, poor balance, and a big head - that he was having repeated vomiting with weight loss. Since he bought the Crasche hat, he has not had a concussion. He further is willing to keep it on and it does not make him look "special."
